Why You’ll Love It

This secluded coastal rooftop bar from designer and restaurateur Nicholas Mathers showcases a stunning ocean panoramic and is known for its exclusive view of the sun setting over the waves. But the views are not the only vibrant aspect of this hip hotspot for the rich and famous. The interior design was inspired by Southern Italy, consisting of natural wood, stone, and copper pieces transported from around the world. Custom furnishing decorates the gorgeous open-air space, but feel free to stand near their many advanced heaters if the cool ocean breeze gets to be too much. They have three different bars on the property for their extensive wine list and variety of handcrafted cocktails, channeling the spirit of Italy in every sip. Come for the views, stay for the incredible Italian cuisine, and live in the nostalgia of Summers past no matter the time of year.

Getting a reservation is a must if you choose to dine here, and even then, it can be a little tricky. Friday and Saturday nights are typically booked 2 - 3 weeks in advance, and brunch on Saturday and Sunday is pretty similar in popularity. If you're already on your trip, definitely join the notify list for any quick spots that open up. Additionally, keep in mind that they split the restaurant into two areas: The Sunset Room, which has a perfect ocean view, and the Garden Room, which has a beautiful outdoor patio space. If you're hoping to snag a view of the sun setting over the ocean, specify the room and make that reservation for about an hour before sunset.
